The weather forecast
Seeing two separate
Ones, both saying
Chance for rain,
Both said unlikely

But somehow I
Knew we would

During the night
Picturing the full moon
With my camera
No clouds in sight
I thought well maybe
No rain would come
In the morning, I
Saw some dark
Scattered clouds
And checked the weather
Only 20 percent chance
In the early afternoon
Starting to hear some
Rumbles and tricklings
Only 20 percent chance
The sky darkened
Droplets became more
And more and now
I knew one hundred
Percent chance of rain
Pouring hard now
The weather still says
20 percent chance

arrived here-at a new adventure-many anxious-me, I am just quiet-some are given maps-some have guides-I announce I want to get lost and to find my own way-laughs are heard out loud-quiet whispers of let us help her get lost, but not find her-a lil voice says all will be okay- the adventure awaits-I walk deep within the forest- past the pool and creek- hearing no one about me-I realize I am lost, but somehow I feel alright- I look down at the path where I thought I came from-nothing there-I focus on the tools at hand- a needle and a leaf-a compass, some water and a bit of energy bars- assuring myself, I check my bearings- the voice says to go this way-I follow-each time in doubt, I listen-and the voice guides me-a short time later-after seeing some amazing creatures and plants-I return to the starting area-only to find out-some who had maps and guides-have not made it back-and there was such a look of surprise-when I showed up…I am grateful for that voice who guided me-may the voice continue to guide me along my many paths in life~Pauline Harris
